• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: There are Members who are making a lot of noise behind me. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you need to stop them. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Millie. They were certainly consulting, but rather loudly that it sounded more like noise. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I said that I checked on the Academy and found that it provides research and platforms for dialogue and networking. It also provides continuous sharing of experience and best practices. After graduating from the Academy, it is expected that the graduands will be The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: ambassadors across the globe. They will become a growing group of anti-corruption ambassadors. We are in Kenya. Unfortunately for the last six months, what we have witnessed in this country on the corruption issues that have been unearthed is very sad. There have never been those kinds of reports in this country since inception. Some of us have been around long enough to know that. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: At the outset, I want to say that the problem in this country is about attitude. We need to go back to our culture and value systems where nobody was taken to an academy to know what was right or wrong or the do’s and don’ts. We have found ourselves at this point where it does not matter anymore, where everybody is looking for a short cut to richness and where richness from corrupt deals in this country is glorified to the extent that our children think that there is a short cut to riches and hard work does not ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: From the Report, it is a very good idea that that academy is devolved down to the counties because, for the last five years or so, what we have read or seen in the counties is most disappointing. Corruption has also been devolved to them. I wish, as my colleagues have said, that academy too be devolved down to the sub-counties. I once again thank the Committee for a job well done. I look forward to the day when we will start rolling out the first ambassadors of that academy and be part of the growing alumni of the academy ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I am still happy that all ended well today and all the Members going out are smiling. On the Early Childhood Education Bill, I am in this Committee. We agreed, and I believe it is important, that we set out proper structures because this is the foundation of our education. We have noted that the available structures in a lot of our schools are not even fit for our children. We have also noted that a lot has not been done in infrastructure despite the fact that the Government has pumped in a lot ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: We also agreed that early childhood education centres must have stand-alone boards for the proper management of the institutions. There is a tendency, at times, of the centres being overlooked while focus is on primary schools. The privately owned stand-alone early childhood education centres must have proper boards that are away from the proprietors for proper governance of the institutions and in line with our Mwongozo policy that clearly spells out separation of functions.

• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: With these few remarks, I support. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I, too, would like to add my voice to support the Committee for a job-well-done. This Treaty is timely, particularly coming on an area that would be considered grey for a very long time. We are not new in this House to the problems that our artists have gone through. I am happy that within the Treaty there is provision to cushion the artists’ rights. It has very clear provisions. It gives the outline of who the beneficiaries are. There is provision that they, too, have the right of reproduction of their performance in ... view
